Kuwait Airways Reschedules Flights After Airspace Closure

By TrendingWire Newsroom

Kuwait Airways announced on Saturday that it has rescheduled most of its flights due to a temporary closure of the country's airspace. The airline urged passengers to stay updated on their flight status, saying notifications and text messages will be sent to the phone numbers registered with their bookings. The airspace closure came as Kuwait's army confirmed it was responding to missile and drone attacks from Iran. In a statement, the army said it was taking action for the third time and asked the public to follow safety instructions from authorities. Kuwait, a small Gulf nation, has sometimes faced disruptions in its airspace due to regional tensions. The closure affected both incoming and outgoing flights, causing delays and rescheduling for travelers. The airline advised passengers to check their booking details regularly and ensure their contact information is up to date to receive timely updates. Kuwait Airways apologized for any inconvenience and said it is working to minimize disruptions. No further details were provided on when the airspace would reopen. Authorities continue to monitor the situation.
